Abstract

A novel carboxylic acid ester having the following general formula ##STR1## wherein R is alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, tetrahydrofurfuryl, or alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms optionally substituted with 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups, is a useful anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
2-(p-Prenylphenyl)propionic acid (TA-60) described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,251,543 is a very useful anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent as are 2-(p-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (ibuprofen) and 6-methoxy-α-methyl-2-naphthaleneacetic acid (naproxen).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
As a result of research directed to the above carboxylic acids, we have found that, although esters of ibuprofen and naproxen not only show reduced toxicity but also have reduced anti-inflammatory activity in comparison with the corresponding free acids, to our surprise, only esters of TA-60 maintain high anti-inflammatory activity comparable to TA-60 and show reduced toxicity even when administered at an extremely high dose.
The present invention relates to a novel carboxylic acid ester represented by the following general formula ##STR2## wherein R is alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl having 5 or 6 carbon atoms, tetrahydrofurfuryl, alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and said alkyl substituted with 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups.
In the present specification and claims, unless otherwise noted, the term "alkyl" refers to either straight or branched chain alkyl groups, e.g., primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl groups.
DESCRIPTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Preferred compounds of the present invention are the compounds of formula I wherein R is a straight chain alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or alkoxyalkyl having 2 to 6 carbon atoms. Most preferred compounds of the present invention are the compounds of formula I wherein R is ethyl or ethoxyethyl.
The compound of formula I may be prepared, for example, by the reaction of the compound of the general formula
RX                                                         II
wherein R is defined above, and X is hydroxy, organosulfonyl or halogen, or dialkylsulfate with 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic acid or its derivatives. That is, the compound of formula II wherein X is hydroxy may be reacted with (a) 2-(prenylphenyl)propionic acid through dehydrative condensation, (b) 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic anhydride, or (c) 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionyl halide in the presence of a basic condensing reagent such as an organic base (e.g., pyridine, triethylamine and the like) or an inorganic base (e.g., a salt of alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal hydroxide and the like) to give the compound of formula I. The compound of formula II wherein X is organosulfonyl or halogen may be reacted with 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic acid in the presence of a basic condensing reagent described above. Dialkylsulfate may be also reacted with 2-(p-prenylphenyl)prioninic acid in the presence of a basic condensing reagent described above. Examples of dialkylsulfates are dimethylsuflate, diethylsulfate and the like.
As stated above, the compounds of the present invention have good anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity with reduced gastrointestinal action at levels comparable to those for 2-(p-prenylphenyl)propionic acid, and show extremely low toxicity, contrary to esters of ibuprofen or naproxen which possess reduced anti-inflammatory activity as well as reduced toxicity in comparison with the corresponding free acids. In addition, since they do not show unpleasant taste, no special technique need be used for their pharmaceutical preparation. Thus, they are useful as anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents in mammals. For these purposes, a compound of the present invention may be administered orally in a conventional dosage form such as tablet, capsule or powder prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical practices. A single dose or preferably 2 to 4 divided daily doses, provided on a basis of about 2-40 mg/kg/day, is appropriate. These compounds may be also administered topically in the range of 0.01 to 10.0% by weight in a conventional cream, ointment or lotion.
The minimum lethal dose of the compounds of the present invention in mice or rats is in excess of 1000 mg/kg of the body weight.
The anti-inflammatory activity of the compounds of the invention was measured by their ability to inhibit granuloma formation in rats according to the following procedure, which is a modification of the procedure described by C. A. Winter et al, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 141, 369(1963). Ten male rats aged 6 weeks were used in each group. Two paper disks (8 mm diam., 28-29 mg) were implanted subcutaneously on both side of the ventral midline under anesthesia on day 0. Test compounds were given orally to rats once daily for 6 days (from day 0 to day 5). A control group which were implanted with the paper disks received an equivalent volume of the vehicle (5% gum arabic solution). All animals were sacrificed the day after the final dosage, the granuloma was removed from extraneous tissue dried at 70° C. overnight and weighed. Reduction of granulation is expressed as percent decrease over granuloma weight of control group. Body weight gain is also expressed as percent increase over body weight gain of control group.
The results of the tests are presented in the following Table I.
